sendmail working for me!

[w1gm at sdf.lonestar.org]

You'll probably also need a smart_host to deliver mail destined for remote
locations.  This can be inserted in the blank space in my original
post.  The format is
define(SMART_HOST,smtp.mail.com)dnl

where "smtp.mail.com" is the name of your ISP or third party mail server.

Once you have the mc file ready to go, you run the m4 command to build the
sendmail.cf.  On my system the command looks like:
m4 my.mc >/etc/mail/sendmail.cf
Once you've built the sendmail.cf file, you can browse it to see whether
you changes took effect.  For example, you can search for your mail-server
which you coded as a smart_host.  If you don't find it, it probably means
that there was a syntax error in your mc file.
